About the tides at Seaside Park
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.1 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Sandy Hook. The mean range is small, about 0.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most New Jersey stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 0.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 0.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 0.5 ft on July 5, and the lowest is −0.1 ft on January 23.
Seaside Park is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sandy Hook: highs come about 220 min and lows about 245 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Barnegat Pier, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Barnegat Inlet.
Predictions are based on Sandy Hook.
